Designed by Boogertaman + Partners as the center of the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa, the Soccer City Stadium utilizing concrete products extensively, both as complex structural elements as well as for aesthetic finishes. And the project won the “Concrete in Architecture award” for the innovative culturally identifiable form of the calabash (African pot) which stimulates a truly African image to the rest of the world.

The design of the stadium was selected from a series of concept designs ranging from acknowledgement of Jo’burg’s disappearing mine dumps; the kgotla (defined by the tree) of the African city state; the African map as a horizontal representation, which included the roof as a desert plane supported on tropical trees set within the mineral wealth of Southern Africa; to a representation of the protea, our national flower.
